After a wrong turn in a small town, I came across a portion of railroad track along the edge modern townhomes. And on those tracks was someone's personal collection of railroad memorabilia. I know some guys who collect model trains, but these big boys apparently collect the real thing!
One engine . . . .
A few old boxcars for hoboes . . . .
Passenger car with observation windows . . . .
A caboose from Canada . . .
Add some accessories . . .
A little station and milk cans ready for the milk run . . .
Someone's dream come true!

Nothing wrong with that I love seeing old trains, the guys lucky to be able to afford a hobby like that.
ReplyDeleteThose were the days! We all feel attracted to the past and the objects which were used then.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and an amazing collection. Wow! I haven't seen proper milk cans for years!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find!
ReplyDeleteI once had a flat behind/above a shop that specialised in selling railwayania - nothing as big as these though.
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice collection. I hope someone is actaully looking after it to preserve the history.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photography!
ReplyDeleteI don't see horses in the fields and I don't see milk churns at the station either - although I do remember the churns!

Love trains... Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I wonder what our homeowners' association would say...
ReplyDeleteWe love trains! That must have been something to see! :)
ReplyDeleteNot sure why, but I too am fascinated by trains! We grew up in one of the few counties in the country that had NO train tracks..Asotin County in Eastern Washington State?
ReplyDeleteNow that is quiet a collection ! I like old steam trains.
ReplyDeleteI love it when my husband takes a wrong turn and we find such a treasure! I'm very fond of old trains.
